Peyton Manning remains convinced the Patriots bugged his locker
Former quarterback Peyton Manning has another bone to pick with the New England Patriots. He maintains that the Patriots bugged his locker.
The Patriots and Peyton Manning became quite familiar with each other over the years. With several regular-season matchups and playoff matchups, Manning and the organization became one of the biggest rivalries in sports.
Tom Brady held an 11-6 advantage over Manning during his time with the Patriots. With several regular-season and playoff matchups, Brady and Manning developed an intense rivalry over the years.
Whenever Manning came to New England, he would do everything possible to ease his mind before the matchup.
“Every time we played against New England, I used to go and talk to my receivers in the shower in the far corner. I’m like, ‘Don’t talk about a play next to my locker. I know it’s bugged, I know it’s got a hot mic in there. It’s very strange to see seven guys hanging out back there in the shower, but we had to take all precautions.”
This was certainly an interesting tidbit from a player who saw his fair share of the Patriots over the years.
